Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was named as the Premier League Player of the Month for October marking the first time a player from Arsenal has won this monthly award since Olivier Giroud picked it up back in March 2015.

Brighton & Hove Albion’s goalkeeper Matthew Ryan was named Premier League’s PFA Bristol Street Motors Fan’s Player of the Month despite getting the same number of votes as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in another vote.

With that vote tied, the award was given to Ryan as he played more minutes than the Arsenal forward which, if you ask me, is a stupid reason.

If you are just as good over 500 minutes as someone else is over 1,000, who is really deserving of the award?

Yes, yes, I know, I’m just bitter.
